Robots
 A robot is a machine. But it is not just any machine. It is a special kind of machine. It is a
machine that moves. It follows instructions. The instructions come from a computer. Because it is
a machine, it does not make mistakes. And it does not get tired. And it never complains. Unless
you tell it to! Robots are all around us. Some robots are used to make things. For example, robots
can help make cars. Some robots are used to explore dangerous places. For example, robots can
help explore volcanoes. Some robots are used to clean things. These robots can help vacuum
your house. Some robots can even recognize words. They can be used to help answer telephone
calls. Some robots look like humans. But most robots do not. Most robots just look like machines.
Long ago, people imagined robots. Over 2,000 years ago, a famous poet imagined robots. The
poets name was Homer. His robots were made of gold. They cleaned things and they made
things. But they were not real. They were imaginary. Nobody was able to make a real robot. The
first real robot was made in 1961. It was called Unimate. It was used to help make cars. It looked
like a giant arm. In the future, we will have even more robots. They will do things that we cant
do. Or they will do things that we dont want to do. Or they will do things that are too dangerous
for us. Robots will help us fight fires. They will help us fight wars. They will help us fight sickness.
They will help us discover things. They will help make life better.
